Good Morning!
Thank you, Alan! That will be useful information for an Ambush Scheme since a lot of tiny, hard edge triangles or dots in those colors will need to be added.
regards,
Painless

Stormbringer!
As I recall, I used Tamiya paints to add Details and touch up the paint before Flats were applied. I believe the paint Colors on the cans were Hull Red, Desert Yellow and Olive Grun.

Painless: I have a few Taigen/Torro tanks in their original paint. The challenge I find is matching paint for details. For a while Torro actually sold the paints they claim match the paint on their tanks from China. I now wish I had bought some. Nowadays they sell Mig Ammo. Of course, here in the U.S. we can still get paints from Spain, right? maybe...?

Good Morning!
Herr Dr., that is a very Good question. Lets see...I found Mega Hobby in Magnolia, NJ that carries the complete Mig Ammo line.
https://www.megahobby.com/ Also I see Spray Gunner in Oldsmar, FL at
https://spraygunner.com/collections/ammo-by-mig-paints
So there are some options available. For a fan of the Model Master line like myself however, those days are past. The new paints by Testor are Ok but I find myself resorting to Tamiya and even those are just not the same thing.

Painless

- Tamiya paint on tbe King Tiger 'P' ne t to the Model Masters on Mike's Tiger 1to the right. Both purported to be Desert Yellow. The Model Masters is definitely a warmer shade for this color and more accurate per the original RAL paint.
